מי שהיה טהור. כהן שהיה טהור לאכול בתרומה, והסיח דעתו מלאכול עוד בתרומה:
שדרך טמאים פורשים ממנו. הטמאים שיודעים בו שהוא טהור, פורשים ממנו, הלכך לא חיישינן שמא נגע באדם טמא וטמאהו:
וחכמים מטמאין. מאחר שהסיח דעתו. והלכה כחכמים:
היו ידיו טהורות. בהא מודה רבי יהודה דאפילו אמר יודע אני שלא נטמאו ידי:
ידיו טמאות. ופוסלין את התרומה, מאחר שהסיח דעתו מלאכול, לפי שהידים עסקניות הן ונגע ולאו אדעתיה:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
